Selected odds by:

(7)

Kracking^h,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| D

15/8

Low-key start for present yard but firm step back in right direction when second of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 14/1) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Has dropped to a lenient mark if he can build on that here.

Form: 4-09972

(1)

Spanish Mane^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Anna Gibson| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60| D

13/2

Confirmed positives of his penultimate start when resuming winning ways in 13-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f) 18 days ago, leading over 1f out and keeping on. Respected again nudged up 3 lb.

Form: 50-9041

(9)

Boom Boom Pow¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| D

9/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 15/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, firm) 18 days ago, weakening over 1f out. That effort was on the back of a wind op/5 months off so good chance she'll be sharper with that run under her belt.

Form: 2-72466

(6)

Diamond Cottage⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Fred Daly⁽⁵⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 52| D

6/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has fallen to a handy mark and likely she can take advantage at some stage this campaign. Respected.

Form: 924355

Roman Spring^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shariq Mohd| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 50

9/2

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 11/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, outpaced before keeping on final 1f. Others appeal more.

Form: 685846

(3)

Blacklion^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K S McHugh⁽⁵⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 49| D

6/1

Got off the mark at Kempton (7f) in May (final start for Jamie Osborne) but not scaled same heights in trio of starts for new yard on AW/turf since. Return to 7f may help judged on latest midfield effort over 1m here 18 days ago.

Form: 751735

(2)

Clear Aim⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Molly Gunn| T: J R Boyle| OR: 47

20/1

50/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good) 7 days ago, always behind. Best effort previously came when third over C&D in June but others appeal more.

Form: 073608

(8)

Little White Dove^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Alicia Perkins⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

40/1

18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 7 days ago. More needed if she's to figure back up in trip.

Form: 856745

(5)

Orange Rosetta⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 45

40/1

Poor form at best. 50/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip now but she's got plenty to find.

Form: 346445

Forecasts

Kracking (15/8), Roman Spring (9/2), Diamond Cottage (6/1), Blacklion (6/1), Spanish Mane (13/2), Boom Boom Pow (9/1), Clear Aim (20/1), Orange Rosetta (40/1), Little White Dove (40/1)

KRACKING has fallen plenty in the weights and produced easily his best effort for his present yard when second at Brighton 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. He gets the vote to back that up. Lingfield-scorer Spanish Mane, Diamond Cottage and Blacklion are next best.
